Where Was I The Night Of The 25th...?

awwww you brought so much good from this piece.

first lines taking  me to Gaelic storm

flowers and shawls soaking in imagery

polar nights of pine- so pleasant, the smell cuts through the air

(i've got a fake tree too this year, i found out my wife was allergic to the real things last year lol)

the 4th stanza makes me think about making a hot toddy with jack dainels and honey

flashing flaxen lace

i love the smell of blush

excellent write Atomik

i'm outta here for the day, i hope you get some totally awesome doc martins, and a ton of killer poetry under the tree.

We have a fraudulent tree too haha! Our place is small, so we didn't bother with a real one this year.  Thank you so much for the lovely comment, I gotta go to (we do a lot on the Eve) . Yes, hoping for Docs, probably not this year though. Who knows, a Christmas miracle could happen 😁

Have a lovely Christmas!

beautiful Atomik
so deeply sensual
& full of rich imagery..

utterly taken by the opening..

"Gaelic groves        
shawl your swollen          
irises - dense - dead        
& darkly deep; "

happy 26th anniversary..

love Crim        

Thank you so very much <3 I always hope my more personally meaningful poems strike others in some capacity too.

Have a beautiful Christmas Crim! <3

I re-read this and it got me really grinning! I fixed the blurb so it'd make more sense, it's actually only our 8th anniversary haha!! But I'll remember this when we hit our 26th ;) We were married on Boxing Day (when he was home briefly from basic training in the Army...it's an interesting story).

giggles I thought you looked awfully young
to be married that long..

Happy 8th anniversary :)

love Crim

Happiest of ( almost ) Anniversaries, AtoMikOne! 💕

And how beautifully you write of it! A memory personified by poetry.

wreath like ice          
'round a new solstice moon        

Omen of snow! 🌠❄

Many thanks <3 It's a fun time of year for us, for sure!

May you and your love have an excellent holiday season, I always love seeing you post here. Never fails to brighten my days and nights :)

🎄❤

A bitter-sweet telling.  Good fodder for an excellent poem.  I need to explore the concept of fake.  It could go some dark places.

Yes definitely! Maybe for your next write!
